A drop of poison on that gathering snow. That moment in the fairy tale when we know what just happened but the princess doesn’t.
Deb Caletti
I could forget that part, but it had to have been true.

Sometimes you're sure dogs have some secret, superior intelligence, and other times you know they're only their simple, goofy selves.
Deb Caletti
Stories took twists and turns down fairy-tale paths or down very human everyday ones. You think you’re at the end of the book, and it’s only the end of a chapter.
Deb Caletti
You've got to have someone who loves your body. Who doesn't define you, but sees you. Who loves what he sees. Who you don't have to struggle to be good enough for.

The scariest part of forever is that nothing is.
Deb Caletti
We can get so wrapped up in our own misconceptions that we miss the simple beauty of the truth.
Deb Caletti
...forever is hard enough without it beginning now.
Deb Caletti
